Okay, award trail blazers, here's the lowdown on some travel news you need to know! First up, remember that Amex Fine Hotels + Resorts credit that went up in value? Well, if you missed out before, you might just get another chance to snag it. Keep an eye on your Amex offers because you never know when they will pop up.

Next, big changes are coming to Breeze Airways' loyalty program. Expect to get over 1 cent per point when you redeem, as well as status tiers and a buddy discount. This matters because it means your Breeze points could become way more valuable, making those budget flights even sweeter.

Lastly, the partnership between JAL and JetBlue is ending in March 2026. If you're someone who relies on this partnership for earning or redeeming miles, or for seamless travel between the two airlines, you have about two years to prepare. Time to rethink those travel strategies.

Why This Matters for Your Strategy

News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.

As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
